Cultural competence is essential for nurses to enhance the quality of care and reduce care inequity in diverse cultures. Throughout the world, populations are resettling to different regions for various reasons, necessitating the importance of teaching cultural skills to nursing students. This study determined the cultural competence of Vietnamese undergraduate nursing students and the factors influencing cultural competence.
The cross-sectional study was performed with 169 undergraduate nursing students in Vietnam. Data on cultural competence, measured by the Nurse Cultural Competence Scale (NCCS), empathy, and self-efficacy was collected. Multiple regression analysis examined the factors influencing cultural competency.
A positive relationship was found between self-efficacy and cultural competence (β = 0.47, < .001), between empathy and self-efficacy ( < .001), and a negative relationship between ethnicity and empathy ( < .05).
Improving undergraduate nursing students' cultural competency is essential in education programs; cultural competency training focuses on strengthening self-efficacy and empathy.
文化能力对于护士提高护理质量和减少不同文化背景下的护理不平等至关重要。在全球范围内，人们因各种原因重新定居到不同地区，这使得向护理专业学生传授文化技能变得十分重要。本研究确定了越南本科护理专业学生的文化能力以及影响文化能力的因素。
对越南169名本科护理专业学生进行了横断面研究。收集了通过护士文化能力量表（NCCS）测量的文化能力、同理心和自我效能感的数据。多元回归分析检验了影响文化能力的因素。
自我效能感与文化能力之间存在正相关（β = 0.47，< .001），同理心与自我效能感之间存在正相关（< .001），种族与同理心之间存在负相关（< .05）。
在教育项目中提高本科护理专业学生的文化能力至关重要；文化能力培训侧重于增强自我效能感和同理心。
